ET-3 On Its Way To The VAB

10 x 8 Colour Glossy NASA Photograph

NASA No. MSFC 8217298

5 October 1981

The first light weight external tank (LWT) for the STS-3 mission was moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center. In VAB the LWT will be mated with the Shuttle Orbiter Columbia and solid rocket boosters. The LWT, unpainted external tank saved 6,000 pounds in the lift-off weight. The giant cylinder, higher than a 15-story building, with a length of 154-feet and a diameter of 27.5-feet, is the largest single piece of the Shuttle. During launch, the ET also acts as a backbone for the orbiter and solid rocket boosters. In separate, internal pressurized tank sections, the ET holds the liquid hydrogen fuel and liquid oxygen oxidizer for the Shuttle's three main engines. Machined from aluminium alloys, the Shuttle's ET is the only part of the launch vehicle that currently is not reused. After its 526,000 gallons of propellants are consumed during the first 8.5 minutes of flight, it is jettisoned from the Orbiter and breaks up in the upper atmosphere, its pieces falling into remote ocean waters.
